Dependencies

• #​12555: Drop Docutils 0.18.1 and Docutils 0.19 support.
  Patch by Adam Turner.
• LaTeX: the xcolor package is now required (but is for example part of
  Ubuntu texlive-latex-recommended which has always been required).
• LaTeX: the fontawesome5 LaTeX package is needed for the default choices
  of icons now used in admonition titles in PDF output; but if unavailable the
  PDF build will simply silently omit rendering such icons. Check the
  documentation of the iconpackage key of :ref:'sphinxsetup' <latexsphinxsetup> for more.

Deprecated

• LaTeX: the sphinxlightbox environment is not used anymore, all types
  of admonitions use (by default) only sphinxheavybox.
